Quoted from cjmjmm2006:After going through all these environments of Harry Potter and reading the illustrated book with my daughter, I am thoroughly convinced that the pinball could be magical.

Insider Tip? I think JJP could do it justice, not sure about Stern.

I would love to see someone do it justice. I am sure the entire license package would be star bucks but I would be a buyer even at 15k for multiple units.

Thank you for the very kind words. Chrisb is truly the reason the location runs so well. He helps us every step of the way. We are glad you enjoyed all the entertainment Helicon has to provide. We hope you will stop back again as the games and drafts are always changing.
Cheers,
CJM
So I have just been told that a new pinball machine has arrived to Helicon Brewing. Rick and Morty will soon be part of the ever expanding line up at the brewery. Give it a flip, let us know whatcha think!

Rick and Morty now in the house too? So on top of Big Lebowski, GnR, JJP POTC - and now this. Amazing. Seriously. So lucky to live 20 min away from this place. The best there is.

Soooo boring, where’s Thunderbirds ???
Looking to come out Sunday for lunch unless Chris wants to open for Brunch.
(Disclaimer: no negativity was meant towards Thunderbirds it was the first thing to pop into my non-creative mind!)
Quoted from Jenniebear:Went today and Rick and Morty was off. Do you know when you will have it working?
Wow the game is literally brand new. This has not been brought to my attention until I see this message. I will get to Helicon ASAP, I will also contact chrisb to see what's up. Thank you very much for the heads up.

I’m sure you probably have everything you need but feel free to use me as a backup.

Thanks Vince! I think we are all set though. Chrisb should be on it. I'm on the way back from MD now so I will do my best to stop.

Thank you sir!!

Thanks Alek. I'll get to it for sure.
Quoted from Looprunner:Stopped Saturday morning. R&M was working when I was there. I enjoyed it. Always love TBL. Believe it or not, I spent a lot of time on BKSR and Game of Thrones Premium. Enjoy those two games.
Always a great place to visit!
Thanks Tim. We appreciate you coming out!
cjmjmm2006 Any plans on ordering a RAZA from Deeproot or are they too much of an unknown at this point?
Quoted from Ericc123:cjmjmm2006 Any plans on ordering a RAZA from Deeproot or are they too much of an unknown at this point?
Haha. Check my resume. I want to order a RAZA but I don't know how to order a RAZA. We order all manufacturers as we want to support the growth of pinball at Helicon. On order is Nemo, Haggis in the past we have ordered multimorphic, suncoast, spooky, heighway, dutch, boutique games etc. Hopefully we can get some info and get this ball rolling. I'll keep this updated as soon as some info comes to light.
Thanks for your support Eric!!

One of my favorite things about Helicon! I would have never played The Big Lebowski otherwise. Freaking love that game!
Quoted from Ericc123:I stopped in for lunch today because I was hoping to play Rick and Morty before the new restrictions go into place. It was down again. Is this game having issues out of the box?
Wish I would have checked this thread before heading down there tonight because I was hoping to get to play it as well. Got there only to find it was turned off. I haven't had a chance to play it yet and hopefully it will be fixed when they open back after the new year.

I got a Helicon gift card from my secret Santa I can’t wait to go back!
Thanks for letting me know about morty again. At this point I'm not sure what to say. I'll have a talk with chrisb this weekend but I assume the game is having issues. Unfortunately not much I can say until I get in front of it again. I appreciate you guys and apologize for all the inconvenience.

I apologize for the game being off. The coin mech jams several times a day and I was not there to address it last night, sorry about that. Beers and a few games on me next time.

No worries and I still had fun playing the other games. R&M is the only new game I haven't played yet and with Gov Dipshit shutting down the state for 3 weeks I figured that was my last chance to play until after the new year.
I am so going to miss the helicon open. My 7 year old was poised to play this year.
Most importantly we all hope everyone is staying safe and we certainly hope to see all of you again once all the restrictions are lifted.
Keep in mind Helicon is still selling to go beer and I believe there will still be good trucks on site during the weekends. I know I will be out to support chrisb, the raspberry wheat is on.
3 weeks later
Helicon Brewing will be back open tomorrow for indoor drinking and pinball. We ask that folks wear a mask, leave an open game in between other players, make liberal use of the available hand sanitizers, and use good common sense in general.
Also, I have a Bill of Lading that says Led Zeppelin (Pro) will be arriving tomorrow...

See you soon!

So apparently there is a difference between the delivery date listed on the Bill of Lading and reality. The tracking website updated this morning to indicate the delivery will be tomorrow, Wednesday 1/6. My apologies to anyone planning on coming out today to see it.
